1. Preheat oven to 400°. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until bubbly and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. 2. Separate biscuits, and flatten each into a 3 1/2-inch circle. Cut with a 3-inch star-shaped cutter, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet; sprinkle with sparkling sugar, pressing to adhere. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. 3. Place 1 biscuit on each serving plate. Spoon blueberry mixture over half of biscuits; top with remaining biscuits. Serve with whipped cream. Note: We tested with Pillsbury Grands! Jr. Golden Layers Buttermilk Biscuits.

Instructions: 1. Cut paper to size. Use the glue to adhere the paper to the outside of each container/cup. 2. Trace the shape of the label onto the cardstock and gently cut it out being careful not to leave any rough edges. Save the part of the paper with the label shape cut into it to use as a template. 3. Hold the cardstock template in place and paint on the labels using the chalkboard paint. 4. Let dry and write the desired message on the label. TIP: Short on time? Scrapbooking and crafts stores often carry pre-made chalkboard labels. Courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens.com
